Pokemon GO Fest 2025 Host Cities Announced

Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris!

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 is heading to Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris! Get ready to plan your travel now, as these dates are set for the next big Pokemon GO event.

While the initial Pokemon GO craze has subsided somewhat, the game maintains a dedicated global following. A key draw for many is the annual Pokemon GO Fest, typically held across three cities with a subsequent global event. These festivals offer unique Pokemon encounters, including region-exclusive and previously unavailable Shiny forms. For those unable to attend in person, the global event provides many of the same rewards.

The 2025 Pokemon GO Fest schedule:

• Osaka, Japan: May 29 - June 1
• Jersey City, New Jersey: June 6 - 8
• Paris, France: June 13 - 15

Further details, including ticket pricing and specific event features, will be revealed closer to the dates. Niantic promises to share more information soon.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Precursor to 2025 Pricing?

The pricing of past Pokemon GO Fest tickets offers some insight. Previous years have shown regional pricing variations, and minor fluctuations year-over-year. For example, in 2023 and 2024, Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 in 2024. US pricing remained consistent at $30, and global events were priced at $14.99 for both years.

Recent events, however, suggest potential changes. The recent price increase for Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (from $1 to $2 USD) has sparked player dissatisfaction. This could signal a possible price hike for Pokemon GO Fest. Given this negative community reaction to a relatively small price increase, Niantic will likely approach any GO Fest price adjustments cautiously, especially considering the dedicated fanbase who travel for these special events.
